Todd Tiahrt: “If it has been against the law for the unions to do this, they have done it in the past, not only in my district, but…”

On the recordSeptember 14, 1999
If it has been against the law for the unions to do this, they have done it in the past, not only in my district, but across the Nation. If it is against the law, then why today are they purchasing time to run these ads against me which are, in fact, a sham ad. They are under the guise of political education, but they will occur. There is no enforcement of the current law. I do not expect even if your law did pass, there would be any enforcement by this administration, because it does coddle the unions.
